Been trying to get into 2v2 lately, rather dislike using UNSC. Prophet seems to be used by many top players, Chieftain has some amazing rushing capabilities, and I'm better with Arbiter than any other leader. Which one is most viable for 1v1 play?

arbiter will be the best imo but brute rushes are now more popular and the new one seems to work great on some maps.

brute chieftain ftw, 1v1 arby is the polar opposite of 2v2 and 3v3 arby so being good with him on team games means less towards 1v1 abilities

I haven't played 1v1 in a LONG time, in fact I just came back to HW after the reset and haven't really played seriously for a long time. Why is the BC one of the best leaders all of a sudden? I just don't understand ... Anyone care to explain the new brute rush to me? Thanks.

having to build units and make an army, thats just way too different!

brute has always been good but he couldnt win vs Anders because of reactor 1st delete. Now that the 1/2 delete thing is in place anders cant do taht and the ebrute ahs a chance.

considering all the good team arby's go super arby i'd say it is quite different

I honestly don't understand why arby sucks for 1v1 now. On reactor maps all you need is quick spiteful and super arby is back. On reactorless maps what prevents him from suicide grunt rushing followed by Wraith/Banshees?

he doen't suck, you just have to be pro with him to beat people, most covies will rush the arbiter, you will have to know how to counter it. unsc will easily win on some maps but that just the game not the arbiter. he also sucks on blood river.

Brute Chieftain is good because he can get a 2-piece Army with only 1 building slot used. Brutes+????

Where as Honour Guards/Suicide grunts are not worthwhile.

 

Arby doesn't suck for 1v1 Sparta, there's just some maps that another leader would be a much better choice.

But Arby rapes BC's, he even has higher building dmg than the BC (at every tech) and he beats him 1v1 without rage at tech 1.

But vs. Forge and Anders, BC would be the better choice ...

I got two states of mind, stoned and asleep ...

Brute Chieftain would be the better choice IMO. But Arbiters Leader Rush is the best since he can drop Suicide Grunts in and do amazing building damage (Although Leader Rushes are easily stopped).

Playing again.

I've started using the Chieftain. I love the ability to make Brutes and Banshees within the first few minutes. Or Brutes and Locusts. Or Brutes and Hunters. I dunno, I just find him to be better. Besides that, I love the Vortex ability.

PoR except on barrens. Dumb healing spire.

1. Arbiter

2. Brute Chieftan (if you know how to use him)

3. PoR

 I dont know why some of you think the chieftan is the best because he has always been the weakest leader. All I see in these forums is how the Arbiter is next to impossible to beat at the beginning, and how no one seems to be able to easily beat him. The Arbiter is clearly the best leader. He can kill an entire army, and early game you can use him to protect your base while you build an army up faster than any UNSC player. The BC is aight, but every other leader beats him. And I can kill him so easily with no more than 6 hog turrets. Same thing with the Por, 7 hogs can easily kill him 4 min into the game. Although brutes are allright with the chieftan, but arbiter can kill them.
